This is difficult to tell. You would have to find old SSDF rating lists.

Never. But IIRC it was on second rank of the SSDF list once, with the version
Nimzo 98. That one was also very good at an Aegon Man vs. Machine tournament.
Maybe you can find more details here:

The latest version Nimzo 8 is not among the very top engines anymore today,
nevertheless it is still among the strongest in terms of combinations, and has a
very sharp style. Good for analysing tactical opening ideas.
